Synopsis

Whether we realize it or not, Catholics have been deeply influenced by modernity's failed worldview. While we want to live and share our faith with joy, we struggle to do so because we unwittingly see the cosmos, the human person, and society as machines functioning independently of their Creator and of one another. If we want to bring the life-transforming effects of our faith into the world, we must first find and live real Catholicism, breaking free of the gravitational pull of modernity's worldview.

A worldview is the stable, all-encompassing way in which each of us looks at reality -- the pair of glasses through which we see the world around us. It makes up the grid of givens, assumptions, and presuppositions through which we view the world. It colors what we mean by God, universe, and human. Everyone has a worldview, and recognizing our worldview and the worldviews of others is crucial in our search for truth, goodness, and beauty.

In Enchanted by Eternity, Fr. William Slattery shows how Catholicism proposes an enchanted and enchanting view of self, nature, society, and the future of each human person, created to live in a resurrected body in "the new heavens and the new earth." As this book reveals, rediscovering a truly Catholic worldview will change the way we live -- and it might even change the world.
